Xiamen Airlines
No fatal accident in its operating history.
In 1990 a hijacked Xiamen 737 collided with two other aircraft on landing at Guangzhou, killing 82 of the 102 aboard. A hijacking is a criminal act, not an accident — that is why the clean sheet stands — but you deserve to know it happened.
READ THE RECORD → (opens in a new window)At this level of safety, the gap between major airlines is statistically negligible. Flying Xiamen Airlines — or any major scheduled carrier — you would need to fly every day for over 25,000 years to statistically expect a fatal accident.
This figure counts years since a fatal accident, not flights — Xiamen Airlines has no sourced per-airline flight total, so it can't say how many trips sit behind the record. One airline's own history, however long or short, is a far smaller sample than the worldwide figure this site already publishes: 99.999993% of boardings end safely — 1 death per 13,700,000 boardings, worldwide, 2018–2022 (MIT / ARNOLD BARNETT, 2024).
That's the whole record, checked 2026-07-09. Reading it again tonight won't change what's in it.
